Tetris 99’s 53rd Maximus Cup delivers a Tomodachi Life-themed reward for Nintendo Switch players.
Developed by Arika and published by Nintendo, Tetris 99 is a battle-royale take on the classic puzzle franchise that launched for Nintendo Switch in February 2019.
The title remains available as a free-to-play experience for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, and Nintendo regularly rotates limited-time Maximus Cup events that reward players with exclusive themes and cosmetic content.
The upcoming 53rd Maximus Cup runs from May 1 at 12:00 AM PT / 3:00 AM ET through May 4 at 11:59 PM PT / May 5 at 2:59 AM ET.
During the event, players will compete online in the familiar 99-player elimination format to earn event points and progress toward the themed reward.
According to the event details, players who accumulate 100 event points over the course of the Maximus Cup will unlock the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream theme for Tetris 99.
The theme includes bespoke artwork, new music, and custom Tetrimino designs tied to the Tomodachi Life aesthetic.
This release follows a recent Maximus Cup that spotlighted Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 content, continuing Nintendo’s pattern of cross-promotional themes tied to its wider IP catalog.
Nintendo has published trailers for these events on official channels; a trailer for the 53rd Maximus Cup is available for viewers who want an early look at the theme and associated visuals.
Tetris 99 remains exclusive to Nintendo Switch and is accessed through the Nintendo eShop and the Nintendo Switch Online service.
Arika, the studio behind Tetris 99’s design, has supported the title with periodic updates and recurring Maximus Cup events since the game’s 2019 launch.
Maximus Cups are time-limited competitions that give players both a competitive objective and collectible cosmetic rewards tied to Nintendo properties.
For players planning to participate, ensure your Nintendo Switch Online subscription is active before the cup begins and track event progress in-game to reach the 100-event-point threshold required to claim the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream theme.
Official channels will host the trailer and additional coverage ahead of the event start.
